On Friday, August 21st, Maria T. Robertson (nee Markwardt), 74, a beloved wife, cherished mother, adored grandmother, dear sister and faithful friend was peacefully called into the loving arms of Jesus as she was surrounded by her family.

Survived by her daughters, Dawn (Frank) Bartletta and Laura Robertson, grandsons, Brady and Jake Bartletta, brothers, Jack (Joann) Markwardt and Bill (Linda) Markwardt; brothers and sisters-in-law, Fran (Linda) Robertson, Patricia (Joe) Galiazzi and Tom (Doreen) Robertson.
